5 Reasons I Wouldn't Change My Long-Distance Relationship For Anything
Graciela Vasquez

While I was in high school, I promised myself I would never be in a long-distance relationship. I said I could never be silly enough to trust a guy from miles away, but I now realized that I was just immature. Today, I am a college student who's content in the long-distance romance that I am a part of.

My relationship has helped me mature in mysterious ways and aided me in comprehending the importance and necessity of communication skills, not only in my relationship but to get whatever I want in life.

I present to you some reasons why distance should not be a factor that holds you back from beginning a journey with your crush. But of course, long-distance relationships will thrive merely if maturity is present in both partners

1. Appreciating and valuing

Thanks to months of being a part we value each second that is spent together and the basic things that are being done. You learn to appreciate your lover due to the effort and commitment that is given on a daily base when not together. You also learn to make the best out of every situation.

2. Special occasion

Every minute spent together is a scorching moment, well let's just say special occasion for now. Reuniting after months of missing each other and plotting what'll happen when this moment comes makes everything feel perfect, no second is put to waste. The romance never halts it just gets better.

3. Bring back the old times.

Oh, how sweet were our juvenile years where romantic letters were delivered and our unlimited data was put to use.

Shockingly, this age isn't dead.

The romance that exists in this relationship is impeccable. It is such a commitment, one that close-distance relationships rarely make. Phone calls, letters, and facetime calls are significantly treasured, to say the least. So just imagine how our bond is when we are finally together.

4. Away time brings focus.

As a college student, my long-distance relationship has helped me succeed in and out the classroom. The whole point of dating is marriage, and spending twenty-four hours a day with your partner is unquestionably not the way to go.

We are both working towards becoming successful individuals, and it takes time and focus to attain it. This achievement is important because it'll help us succeed as a couple. Therefore, time to oneself is key.

Being away from each other also allows you to discover who you really are and determine if that person is who you truly desire a future with.

5. Clarification

The relationship is more than physical. You don't have to re-live that era where you wonder if your boyfriend is dating you with bad intentions.

If that were the case then he would be dating Stacy from a block down and not the girl he has to waste miles, money, data, and gas on.


AND lastly, if your relationship can survive distance, it can survive anything.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
